Field Photos vs CompanyCam

Here’s the honest comparison, current as of July 2026. CompanyCam changed its plans in spring 2026, so older comparisons quote dead pricing — the full breakdown is in What CompanyCam actually costs.

Frequently asked questions
Is Field Photos a good CompanyCam alternative?
For contractors who mainly need job-photo capture, location-based organization, and client sharing, yes — Field Photos delivers those at $30/month flat for 5 users, versus CompanyCam’s 2026 plans at $63–79/month for one user or $119–149/month for three. CompanyCam remains the better fit if you need its markup, reporting, checklist, and payment tooling.
Which is cheaper, Field Photos or CompanyCam?
Field Photos. At 5 users it’s $30/month versus about $177–217/month on CompanyCam’s cheapest plan combination, and the gap grows with crew size because CompanyCam charges $29–34 per extra user versus $7.
What does CompanyCam do that Field Photos doesn’t?
Photo markup, PDF reports, checklists and task assignment (Crew plan and up), payment collection, deep CRM integrations, and AI/LiDAR features on higher tiers. Field Photos deliberately focuses on photo documentation.
Does Field Photos have GPS like CompanyCam?
Yes — Field Photos tags photos with location and suggests the nearest job site the moment you open the camera; you confirm with a tap. CompanyCam files photos to nearby projects automatically. The confirm step means photos don’t end up on the wrong job when two sites are close together.
